Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage are champions of science and technology,
who worked on special effects for seminal Hollywood films before teaming
up ten years ago to educate and entertain millions of viewers around the world.
Through the course of his 25 years of work in the effects industry, Jamie has had
his hand in producing effects for over 800 commercials, dozens of feature films,
and has built hundreds of prototypes. Adam has multiple hobbies and is passionate
about restoring his vintage four-wheel drive vehicle, and researching and accruing
new pieces for his movie prop collection. When not shooting shows or working on pet
projects, Adam and Jamie travel the country to corporate events, museums,
and colleges, for groups as small as 20 and as large as 20,000, telling tales of
experiments, explosions, and hijinks. Tested is their home on the web.

Will Smith and Norman Chan have been covering consumer electronics and the Internet for the
past ten years, the last two of which were spent building Tested as a place for users to learn
about technology and share their passions. Will works to master many coffee brewing techniques,
is learning novel and traditional cooking styles, and keeps trying to expand his dog’s
vocabulary beyond 150 words. Norm loves learning new photography tricks, is fascinated by comic
book and cosplay culture, and is still on the hunt for the perfect pair of headphones.
Both Will and Norm are unabashed adult fans of LEGO. As the curators and producers of everyday
stories and video on Tested, trust Will and Norm to bring the off-beat enthusiasm and pragmatic
coverage that long-time Tested readers have come to expect, infused with Jamie and Adam’s sensibilities
and hallmark inquisitiveness.

SO, WHAT KIND OF STUFF CAN I READ ABOUT ON TESTED?

The short, pithy answer is: We'll cover anything that's awesome. The longer answer is that we
have many interests, ranging from breakthroughs in science, amazing tales of exploration,
and discoveries in nature to emerging technologies and new consumer products that promise
to change our everyday lives. Tested is the place where we’ll explore those topics in depth,
asking the hows and the whys about the things that excite us the most.

The number one rule of Tested is simple. We want to make Tested the site that we'd be most
interested in reading. If you think there's something we should be covering, but aren't,
please let us know!
